Encouraging and equipping women over 60 to live their best life!
When I was a teenager, I always anticipated the August edition of Seventeen magazine because it was full of stylish fall clothes and accessories. In similar fashion, it’s time to shift our focus here at Dressed for My Day to preparing our wardrobes for cooler days ahead. Yes, we’re having record heat here in Cincinnati…
Have you ever taken the time to think through what you’re really good at; what you love to do, what comes naturally to you, and you can’t not do this thing because it doesn’t take a lot of willpower, you actually enjoy doing it? When you have the opportunity to do this thing, you say yes! I feel so many of us have spent too much time believing the lie that we should focus our time on trying to improve our weaknesses. And if we buy into this lie and we ignore our strengths, our strengths actually get weaker! Then we find ourselves going through the motions of life! We find ourselves with this longing thought of: “someday if, someday.” This is a fantasy that causes our lives to pass us by. If you find yourself in this place, please read on as I hope to change your thinking!
You might have to encourage your man to enjoy his loves. My friend Yvonne, when asked what was the most outrageously fun thing she had done with her honey, replied: “Zip lining in Alaska and parasailing in Hawaii. He didn’t want to do either of them, but afterward he said it was the best of times… go figure?”
Although it may take a while for the next season to come, and God’s plan for that season to be revealed, hang on tightly, trusting change is ahead and forward motion is possible. Just as darkness gives way to light, tears dry, and joy rules the day.
I believe a person’s attitude is extremely important as it shapes our reality and influences every aspect of our lives. Our attitude determines our perception and experience of reality. Two people can be in the same situation but have such different experiences based on their attitudes. A positive attitude opens you up to new opportunities and experiences while a negative attitude limits you.
Let’s make this year a symphony of yeses, a crescendo of courage. Here’s to embracing adventure, no matter our age! Please give me your suggestions or thoughts about the YES concept for YOUR life.
If something is important enough to you, you and God can figure it out! I believe God wants me to continue to create, record and promote a podcast that shares success principles from a Godly perspective. It’s what I have a passion to do! I’m learning that when I share ideas, like you, I have to be willing to change, to try new things, even if it is uncomfortable.
I don’t know about you, but time feels like it is speeding up. It seems like it was just Christmas and now we are in August! I want to talk about this topic: Fierce Belief in Possibilities, because if you don’t take the time to really think about new possibilities, time just marches on and…
As long as we give our self-worth to our ever-changing circumstances, we are going to suffer. We are going to go from people pleasing—which is being whoever or whatever we need to be to get people to like us to feeling worthless when we feel they don’t like us. It’s all a big fat lie! But we are allowing it. In fact, in some ways, we are creating it. If you are in this dark place right now, I’m here to tell you, the only reason you are here is because at some level you feel you deserve to be here. You are making up a ton of this by believing you are a mind reader and you know people’s intent and motives and you believe it is toward you and you have come up with the ugliest scenarios about these people’s motives, you are the focal point. You are the judge, jury, and sentencer of their motives. The crazy part is you feel you are right!
Earlier this month, I had a Caribbean-themed Casita Marita Dinner Party. I asked everyone to dress as if they were on a Caribbean vacation. People asked for the recipes so I thought I’d share them here—along with a timeline for putting the party together with ease.
